Crucial is usually launching memory kits with JEDEC, very safe memory timings in order to be compatible with a large range of systems, no matter the capacity. The Crucial Pro series did introduce heatspreaders, XMP and EXPO timings, but the CAS latencies were quite relaxed for the same compatibility reasons. The new Overclocking Edition of the Crucial DDR5 Pro is a breath of fresh air, aimed at DIYers, overclockers and gamers, with CAS latencies of 36-38-38-80, 25% lower than the usual Pro kits and can be found with module capacities of 16GB and 24GB.

The modules are shipped in simple cardboard/plastic enclosures, with pink accents in order to differentiate it from the usual Pro kits:

The modules have nice, angled shapes in the corners:
